The plant monitors increases in differential pressure (dP) for cues in membrane cleaning and TOC rejection as critical parameters for producing high-quality permeate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">System Information<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>RO system design: 2 stage, 7:3 array (6M)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No. of trains: 19<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RO system recovery: 89\u201390%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feed water temperature: 25\u201326\u00b0C<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>pH: 7.5\u20138.5<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Novel Feed Spacer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>LG BW 400 ES L incorporates a proprietary novel L feed spacer to reduce differential pressure. The result is a lower fouling rate and cleaning frequency, and overall operational cost savings. For more information on the L spacer,<br>click here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Membrane Performance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>At system start-up, the total differential pressure (1st and 2nd stages) of LG NanoH\u2082O\u2122 RO elements was about 20% less than the competitor\u2019s equivalent product, also equipped with a factory-supplied low dP feed spacer (Figure 1).<br>Permeate production was similar for both elements at 80 m\u00b3\/hr with a 90% recovery rate. TOC rejection for NanoH\u2082O\u2122 membranes was measured between 78\u201380%, higher than the competitor model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/UPW_Figure-1-1024x810.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/UPW_Figure-1-1024x810.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/UPW_Figure-1-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/UPW_Figure-1-768x607.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/UPW_Figure-1.jpg 1113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"701\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/UPW_Figure-2-1024x701.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/UPW_Figure-2-1024x701.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/UPW_Figure-2-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/UPW_Figure-2-768x526.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2026\/04\/UPW_Figure-2.jpg 1111w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1425,"template":"","content-hub-categories":[9,158,10,146],"content-hub-types":[19],"content-hub-tags":[107,108,110,111],"class_list":["post-1418","content-hub","type-content-hub","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","content-hub-tags-fouling-resistance","content-hub-tags-industrial-water","content-hub-tags-ultrapure-water","content-hub-tags-upw"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-hub\/1418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-hub"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/content-hub"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-hub\/1418\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1423,"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-hub\/1418\/revisions\/1423"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1425"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"content-hub-categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-hub-categories?post=1418"},{"taxonomy":"content-hub-types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-hub-types?post=1418"},{"taxonomy":"content-hub-tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nanoh2owater.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-hub-tags?post=1418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
